Chapter 223 - Rebirth
After eating until she was full, Little Princess slept soundly on her stomach for four whole hours before waking up. She blurrily wiped her eyes, looking drowsy.
"You're awake? "How do you feel?"
"It feels so good to be reborn. "Heh heh." Little Princess gave me a mischievous smile as she stretched comfortably, "stinking thief, I've discovered that eating until one is full is the most beautiful thing in this world."
Hearing Little Princess's words, I was slightly stunned for a moment, then asked with a malicious smile:
"Then what we did last night, wasn't it beautiful?"
Hearing my words, Little Princess's face stiffened, then she suddenly extended her leg and kicked me.
"Beautiful your head, you are very proud, stinking thief!"
I hugged my leg that was kicked by Little Princess painfully. I innocently retreated a few steps, and said while feeling aggrieved:
"But that's what you said!"
"Go, don't bring up this matter again!" Little Princess rolled her eyes at me. Then, her eyes suddenly glazed over as she muttered to herself, "That's right, yesterday you and I were together. Will I be pregnant with your child?"
Hearing Little Princess's words, I was also stunned, my heart becoming heavy.
"That's hard to say. It's possible, but it's also possible that it won't happen."
Hearing my words, Little Princess's face turned green from fright:
"What if I had your child?"
I was at a loss as to what to do. Scratching my head, I said.
"That may depend on you. If you don't want children, you can try to get rid of them. In our 21st century, there was an institution that knocked out children. "
"Aiya, dead stinking thief, you have to take responsibility. If I say pregnant, what should I do? What should we do?! "
"You were the one who begged me then." I said somewhat helplessly.
Hearing me say that, Little Princess bit her lips and frowned, as if she remembered that the main reason for this matter wasn't me.
"Ahh, so annoying! What if I'm pregnant?" What should I do?! What if we give birth to a boy? " Previously, Little Princess clearly took the initiative to ask me for help, but now, she's worrying about getting pregnant. Furthermore, I have already done my work, so I can't reverse the flow of time any longer.
"Well, even if you had a child, no one would dare touch you. Your grandmother is the vice chairman of the country, your mother is also the governor of Henan Province, who would dare to touch you in the country's upper echelons? Unlike me, I am chased to the ends of the earth and am always on tenterhooks. "
Hearing my words, Little Princess's expression calmed down, but he still looked anxious. "How could it be that simple? If I really had a boy, if I did have one, it would affect my family's reputation in the political world. "When that happens, I'll be a sinner of our family, aiya!"
Hearing the anxious tone of the Little Princess, I also got a little nervous. Indeed, anything that involves tall buildings is a lot more complicated. But the problem is that Little Princess and I already have a relationship, there's no way I can escape. No matter how nervous I am, the worst case scenario would still happen.
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's find an exit and leave. If I can survive, I'll think of something else. " In the end, I still used the Heaven's Words Divine Art that I used the most. No matter how troublesome it may be, I will just drag it out for a while. What happened in the future might not happen yet.
Under my suggestion, even though Little Princess's heart is still complicated and conflicted, she agreed to put aside the entanglement of our past and find an exit first.
However, finding the exit is much easier than I thought.
Since this underground chamber could hold so many jewelry and artifacts, there had to be a huge entrance. Finding an entrance like that was naturally very easy as well.
After we had eaten our fill, we left the storeroom and went out into the corridor to look for something similar to an exit.
I dripped a little saliva on my finger. In movies, there's often a way to feel the flow of the wind by wetting my finger, so I learned to use it. However, this move was not very efficient. After my fingers had dried off all the saliva, I still could not find the exit. In the end, Little Princess's eyes lit up as she found the most important exit.
"stinking thief, look." Little Princess pointed to the top of her head with her slender index finger.
I looked up following the direction pointed by the Little Princess, and saw a Long Rope hanging down at the top of the long corridor, and on the roof of the corridor, there was actually a wooden door. The surface of the wooden door was divided into many levels, and it seemed to be a wooden ladder.
"Seems to be trying to pull the ladder down with the rope." Little Princess reminded me.
"Yes, I'll try." Looking at the wooden ladder above my head, I nodded. Then, I walked forward and grabbed the thick hemp rope that hung down.
Since this place is where the Lotus Gang's people hide their Ancient Cultural Relics, I'm worried that the door will open and all the people outside will be from the Lotus Gang.
"Mmm, alright then. stinking thief, be careful. If Lotus Gang's people are outside, we must quickly escape. "
Hearing my words, Little Princess's face turned serious, she nodded, then retreated a few steps until she reached the entrance of the storage room where the cured meat was hidden.
Seeing that Little Princess was hiding, I grabbed onto the Long Rope with both of my hands and pulled with all my might!
"Crack, crack ~ ~ ~"
As I pulled with all my might, the wooden ladder on the roof of the corridor was finally pulled down. The wooden ladder was like a spring, it had to be pulled down.
As I pulled the wooden ladder, a rectangular shaped exit appeared at the top of the long corridor.
During the whole process, I held my breath tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound. I'm worried that the Lotus Gang people might just happen to walk in from outside the secret door. If they were to see me, I'm afraid I would really be guilty.
Fortunately, even after I pulled the wooden ladder down and touched its bottom, there was no one like the TV series that was eyeing the Lotus Gang covetously. The light above wasn't enough, but it really didn't look like anyone.
"Come on, there doesn't seem to be anyone up there." After pulling down the wooden ladder, my heart reached my throat. I kept looking up from the bottom step of the wooden ladder. After confirming that there was no one around, I softly shouted towards the Little Princess in front of me.
Hearing my soft shout, Little Princess finally let go of her courage, and then, she slowly walked towards me.
"Is there really no one up there?"
"It seems like there's no one. Let's hurry up and leave." I said to Little Princess as I tied the wooden ladder's head with a rope to an iron hook on the floor directly below the hallway.
"Okay, let's go. "Haha, we can really leave now." Little Princess was nervous and happy as she spoke. Then, the two of us bent our bodies and ran up along the wooden ladder with an angle of 45 degrees until we exited this dark underground world.
Following the wooden ladder's trail, we finally ran out of the dark room. When Little Princess and I stopped, we realized that we were in a room that was similar to a side room.
The room was ancient, surrounded by red pillars, with tables and a few statues of Buddha sitting in them. The exit we were in was right in front of the statue of Buddha sitting in the chamber. Little Princess and I were stunned by the scene before us. We never thought that after escaping from the underground world, we would actually be in such a peaceful and quiet room. The doors and windows of the rooms were all carved out of wood, as was common in temples or ancient houses.
Little Princess and I were stunned by the scene around us.
"Ai, what a familiar feeling. I've been here before." Little Princess's bright eyes turned a few times before she said this.
"You've been here?"
"Hmm, this seems to be the Zhongyue Temple." Little Princess looked around and said, "My mother had meditated here before, she acknowledged the host as her master."
"Zhongyue Temple?" Regarding Denver, I only know a Shaolin Temple, how would I know what Zhongyue Temple is?
"Yes." The most famous place in Denver was Shaolin Temple. Other than Shaolin Temple, there were also eight other places, namely the Three Imperial Towers, one pagoda, one temple, and one library. "Three Phrases" refers to Tai-kou, Shao-kou, and Qian-mai. The first pagoda referred to Song Yue Monastery, the first temple to the Enlightenment Temple, and the first temple to the Zhongyue Temple. The first pagoda referred to the Star Observation Platform and the first school referred to the Songyang Academy. Every year at the end of the year my mother would bring me here to burn incense and sometimes to raise money for charity. The Zhongyue Temple is the biggest Taoist temple in China, and also the place where the people of the Lotus Gang practice martial arts. "
"If that's the case, then it seems that the people from the Lotus Gang are up to no good. I never thought that even though this temple looked quiet and sacred, there were actually so many Ancient Cultural Relics hidden underground.
"Exactly!" Little Princess completely agrees with my words.
"No matter what, let's go out first. The door to the chamber isn't closed. " I suggested to Little Princess, who nodded. After that, I closed the wooden ladder s that came up. I wasn't as stupid as the people on TV, I snuck into another place and forgot to close the back door, so it was clear that I wanted others to know that you came in. Lotus Gang is a criminal organization after all. If they find out that Little Princess and I already know about their secret stash of cultural relics, we'll be in deep trouble.
Little Princess and I observed the scene outside through the empty gap in the wooden door. In the end, we found that there was a quiet training hall outside and there was no one around. After hesitating for a moment, Little Princess and I secretly pushed open the door to the room.
"No one seems to be here." Little Princess looked around and asked.
"Hurry up and go." You are familiar with this place, so you should lead the way. " "No," I said.
"Yes." Because we were both a little nervous, we held hands and walked stealthily along the bluestone walkway outside the wing.
The temple was a "back" structure, and we had come out of the northernmost wing of the temple. There was also a main hall in front of the wing, and we had to go around the front door to get around it.
Because we were afraid of being discovered, Little Princess and I were on high alert while we were escaping, anxiously observing our surroundings to ensure that no one dared to move forward.
On the left side of the main hall, there is a green bamboo forest, and Little Princess and I were planning to take a detour from the left side to the main entrance.
However, just as we walked around the corner of the main hall and were about to enter the forest, I suddenly heard the sound of a woman conversing.
"Wait, there's someone." The instant we turned the corner, I stopped the Little Princess, not allowing her to continue forward. Little Princess looked at me and nodded. Then, we held our breaths and listened to the human language coming from the bamboo forest.
The voice was soft and didn't seem loud, but Little Princess and I heard it clearly.
"Lan Lan, remember, you are different from the others. In this The World of Women, you are a man. Unless there are other men in this world, no woman is your match. You have to keep that in mind. "
"Yes, Sect Leader."
It was the voice of two women. The former resembled a Middle-aged woman, while the latter resembled a young woman.
